Score
Culvers has been inspected 10 times since 2022. The most recent visit was on Apr 6, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around two violations to closer to four violations.
The pattern that stands out is “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease”, which has been cited two times.
Compared to other Land O' Lakes restaurants (averaging 76), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
